📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The community page now uses a dedicated template with configurable hero, connection, gallery, contribution, conduct, and participant-logo sections. New Sass styles define the responsive layout. New JavaScript adds responsive photo-carousel controls and status updates.

Community home page

Layer / File(s) Summary
Community page content and sections
content/community/_index.md, templates/community-home.html
The page configuration and template add the hero, connection links, photo gallery, contribution cards, conduct callout, and deferred asset loading.
Participant logo rendering
_data/participants.yml, templates/macros/community.html, templates/community-home.html
Six participant entries define alternate strip logos. Macros calculate logo heights and render accessible duplicated logo sets.
Community page styling
sass/_community.scss, sass/css/styles.scss
The new Sass partial styles the logo marquee, hero, connection card, photo carousel, contribution grid, and conduct block. The main stylesheet imports the partial.
Photo carousel interaction
static/assets/js/community.js
The carousel script calculates responsive page sizes, updates track translation and controls, handles resizing, and updates the live status display.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b845d

The Community page revamp adds new content and presentation features, but current Sass and Markdown lint issues may prevent a clean site build. These are bounded formatting fixes with low production impact.

Would this issue be a good use for stacked prs? Merge it in pieces?

Adds an optional image.strip field in the participants data pointing at a
compact logo variant for use in horizontal logo strips. Percona and Ericsson
get horizontal lockups built from their existing vertical SVGs; NetApp
Instaclustr, BetterDB, Solanica, and Freshworks get tightly cropped copies.
The original logo files and the Participants page are unchanged.

Replaces the six-card community page with the reviewed layout: a
participant logo strip, photo hero, Connect with us bar, community photo
carousel, nine Ways to contribute tiles, and a Code of Conduct block.
Footer and site chrome are untouched.

Logos in the strip are sized by aspect ratio at build time so square marks
and long wordmarks carry similar visual weight. Event subpages under
/community/ share the tile data and pick up the nine tiles.

Adds thirteen community photos to the Community in action carousel.

Squashed down to three commits: logo variants, page rebuild, and photos. I was syncing local edits to github as I went, which is why the count got so high

Definitely a big improvement from what we had.

The page ignores the site's content column (--max-width: 1400px), so nothing on it lines up with the header, the footer, or any other page. And the new cards render on every /community/* subpage through community.html, where one of them opens a same-page anchor in a new tab.

The carousel is also super wonky, you can break it by like dragging and dropping then clicking away.

Every other page puts content in one column: :root { --max-width: 1400px } in _valkey.scss:2, applied through .width-limiter (header, footer, /participants/, /events/) and .left-aside (/blog/). This page uses neither and hardcodes three new widths instead. Measured left edges at a 1920 viewport:

block max-width left edge
header, footer --max-width (1400) 260
participant strip 1280 320
Connect card 1160 380 (414 inside padding)
photo carousel 1160 380
Ways to contribute grid 1100 410
Code of Conduct block 1100 410 (440 inside padding)

Five edges, and the one the site actually uses is not among them. The nav logo above and the footer links below both sit 60px outboard of the participant strip and 150px outboard of the cards.

Use var(--max-width).

Gutters kick in at two different breakpoints: 1200px here and on .community-home-photos:268, 1100px on .community-home-conduct:436 and .community-card-grid-centered:391. Between 1100 and 1200 the Connect card and carousel are inset 2rem while the grid and conduct block are not. One rule for the whole page.

Does the Code of Conduct need to be a block? It renders as a 212px full-bleed gradient panel whose one action goes to /code_of_conduct, and default.html:106 already puts a Code of Conduct link in the footer of every page, just below it. On the old page this was a card in the grid.

Put it back as a card. Drops the block, 30 lines of SCSS, and one of the five content widths.

templates/community.html:19 concats this list onto every /community/* subpage's own cards, and :30 applies target="_blank" unconditionally. All six old cards were absolute https links so that never showed. Three of the new ones are not, from public/community/scale-2026/index.html:

<a href="/community/meetup-groups/" class="btn" target="_blank">Meetup Groups &amp; Charter</a>
<a href="/events/" class="btn" target="_blank">Upcoming Events</a>
<a href="#email-signup" class="btn" target="_blank">Newsletter</a>

#email-signup opening a new tab to the same page is the bad one.

Was inheriting these on the event subpages intended at all? If yes, port the is starting_with("http") check from community-home.html into community.html. If no, move the cards out of the section's [extra].

max-width wins over --logo-height, so the widest marks are the ones this does not normalize. NetApp Instaclustr (viewBox ratio 9.5) gets --logo-height: 22px and renders at 160x16.8, the shortest logo in the strip. Oracle (7.7) and IONOS (7.5) clip too.

Fold the cap into the bucketing in macros/community.html:11: derive the height from the ratio and the 160px width budget together, not one then the other.

Cut this one. It is the same two speakers, same outfits, same stage as community-photo-01.jpg on line 15, shot from a different angle, and the alt text is nearly the same sentence. Nothing in the frame reads as Valkey either: the slide is unreadable and the backdrop is out of focus. 01 keeps the moment and at least has the logo on the backdrop.

Down to 12 photos, which also makes the carousel 4 clean pages of 3 instead of 5 with the last one overlapping.

Swap the headline. "Unlock. Contribute. Repeat." is the Eat. Sleep. Code. Repeat. format, and "Unlock" is not a thing a contributor does.

Suggested change
hero = { title = "Unlock. Contribute. Repeat.", subtitle = "Every key contributor started somewhere: a bug report, a talk, a line of code. This community is built one key at a time. Yours starts here.", image = "/img/community/hero-community.jpg" }
hero = { title = "Built by the community. For the community.", subtitle = "Every contributor started somewhere: a bug report, a talk, a line of code. This community is built one key at a time. Yours starts here.", image = "/img/community/hero-community.jpg" }

Two clauses ending in periods is the pattern the homepage hero already uses (content/_index.md:13, headings = ["FAST. RELIABLE.", "OPEN SOURCE, FOREVER."]). The three-beat imperative appears nowhere else on the site.

The subtitle edit drops one word: "every key contributor" reads as "every important contributor", which cuts against the thing the sentence is trying to say.
